Hi Karl,
I recognize that this all can get very confusing -- I am indeed a
descendant of Dorothea Hein, and my family has contact with some
people who are known descendants of August Daubler's first wife with
whom he divorced.
Curiously, my family has always thought of those people as relatives,
but it is only recently that we've realized that our only blood
relationship to them would be if August Daubler was indeed Dorothea
Hein's Father.
I am familiar with 23andMe and I've also used FamilyTreeDNA.com --
both seem like worthwhile options.
Again, thank you and everyone on the listserve for your enthusiastic
support and guidance.
Best wishes,
Peter

>> I looked into the coverage 23andMe provides which is about 933K SNPs (markers) which is very good. I have seen that estimates of 300K-600K SNPs is enough to confer identities close to one individual so among this large pile of data to be generated hopefully something will show up.
